fdC hlll6l CdIn6 GOWN ITO0l DuluIu yes
terday, and with the greatest ease imagin-
able knocked out Duncan G. Mcdonald in
two minutes and forty-siX seconds. The
match came off last evening at the WASH
ington rink. Minneapolis, and drew but
small attendance owing to poor manage
ment and the want of proper adver-
tising. No one seemed to take any
interest in the affair, as it was
not supposed that it would amount to any
more than an exhibition of boxing. Kllen's
reputation had suffered considerably from
the ''roastings" he received OF account OF
his meeting with Bradburn. and his failure
to respond when called upon to face Sulll-
van, while Mcdonald in failing to best
Fahey, a comparative novice, had not
gained any esteem as the posseSsOr OF great
ability. SO all circumstances combined to
dampen the ardor of the most gulllble
lovers of sport.
THE PRELIMINARIES.
AT 9 o'clock the 800 people VINO had
waited nearly an hour in the cold rink, be-
came impatient and demonstrated their dis
pleasure at the lack of entertainment of
fered. Finally George La Blanche. the
marine. appeared and introduced Billy
Wilson and Tom Manning, who
spared four rounds cleverly.
Another tedious wait followed,
when the event OF the evening was an
nOunced. Killen was the first to appear,
and walked over to his corner carelessly.
Mcdonald followed quickly. and La
Blanche announced Tom Manning as the
referee for the contest, to consist OF ten
rounds Eddie Cain seconded Killen and
Billy Wilson went behind Mcdonald.
When the two men shook hands the dis
parity was noticeable. Killen stands six
feet one inch in height and weighs
about two hundred pounds. Magnificently
proportioned. easy and graceful, lie mado
good impression. Mcdonald, who is only
an inch shorter and weighs 1GS pounds,
seemed slight in comparison with killen.
Both men opened cautiously, Mcdonald
getting in one or two light blows on Kill
lens neck. Killen's first blow showed that
HEMEANT BUSINESS.
1t was a hard ft-handed punch, which
struck Mcdonald in the stomach. Nc
Donald fought shy after this evidence OF
his opponents power, but finally delivered
several hits which landed successfully. His
cleverness created applause, and he led
out again with his left for Killen's face.
Killen stopped the blow neatly with his
right, while in return his left shot out
with lightning rapidity and caught
Mcdonald squarely on the jugular under
the left ear. The blow was tremendous
one, and Mcdonald simply curled up and
Law down on the floor. his hands dropping
to his side and his head going forward on
his breast. He was so long falling
that Killen might have struck
him again, but he stepped back
to the ropes where he shook hands with a
friend. Mcdonald regained his feet with
difficulty. and staggered as he came forward
again. Killen struck him three sharp blows,
the last landing on the neck, and Mcdonald
fell over to the floor again.
THE POLICE
at this juncture jumped into the ring,
and something of a row followed. during
which Killen seemed inclined to give
La Blanche the same kind of Jolt he
had given Mcdonald. This ended the
fight. and Mcdonald was helped off
the stage in very groggy condition. The
time seems to have been rather loosely
kept, as Mcdonald, when first knocked
down. was given eighteen seconds to rise.
or eight seconds more than allowed. Sev-
eral friends of Mcdonald claim
Kilen hit him after time had
been called. but this can hardly
be true, as the men faced each other only
two minutes and forty-six seconds, accord
ing to the timekeeper's account. Killen's
friends are jubilant oyer the proof
he gave of his ability. and are now
more than ever convinced that he is
the man to conquer Sullivan. Mcdonald
feels rather sore over the ease with which
he was put to sleep by Killen. but had
nothing to complain of in the way of un-
fairness. The gloves used weighed three
ounces. Killen, who took his victory very
modestly, said after the fight:
hope now to get chance to show what 1
am made of. l will meet any of them, but
don't care to fight in st. Paul, where 1 have
been unfairly treated.
